About End of Summer Festival

At the end of August, Lupara, a village in the province of Campobasso in the Biferno valley, bids farewell to summer with its End of Summer Festival, organised by the Pro Loco. An evening dedicated to typical Molise dishes — from tacchozze with sauce to peppers with cheese and eggs — accompanied by group dances and music with a DJ, in a convivial event that brings the community together before returning to daily life.

Lupara's summer says goodbye with a festival

The End of Summer Festival is the convivial event with which Lupara, a municipality in the province of Campobasso in the Biferno valley, closes the summer season. Organised by the Pro Loco Lupara, the evening takes place at the end of August and brings together residents, holidaymakers, and locals who have returned to the village for their holidays.

Flavours and dances

The stars of the show are the typical Molise dishes: from tacchozze with sauce to peppers with cheese and eggs, the festival is a tribute to local cuisine. Accompanying the tastings are group dances and music with a DJ, for an evening of outdoor fun and socialising, at the area in via Camposportivo.

A community festival

Simple and genuine, the End of Summer Festival embodies the spirit of a small Molise village that uses conviviality and gastronomic tradition as a moment of cohesion, collectively bidding farewell to the end of summer in the Biferno valley.

End of Summer Festival — edition 2026

In 2026, the Pro Loco Lupara will once again organise the End of Summer Festival, with typical Molise dishes, group dances, and a DJ to close the village's summer season. The precise date will be announced by the organisers in the weeks prior.

The exact date will be announced by the organisers in the weeks prior.
